VAs' most recent AO Ships List

[Berta]

If you were on any of these ships, after the exposure dates, within the 12 mile Limit of Vietnam, and have any AO presumptives, 

all you will probably need is proof from your deck logs.of your exposure to Agent Orange.

I posted a deck log and explained how to read it-searchable in our AO forum.

It is a little more complex than that but I have already posted all you need to know in our AO forum regarding Blue Water Navy vets.

This looks like its from 2018- is it the most recent list?

You are right- here is the most recent VA AO Ships list from the VA:

Blue Water Navy Veterans themselves got most of these ships on the list.

It is SO commendable- the work they did, to prove their AO claims and I bet there are still more ships that are not on the list, and that should be.

I was with the original Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Association.

This veteran,on Remand in 2021, might be able to prove the ships he mentioned should be on the VA's AO  ship's list-I am sure the USS Sterett was not on the list- have friend who servered on that ship

actually they might be but I have no time to check that- and I would assume the BVA already did....but not sure-hope they did
